## Strategy
The strategy for achieving these objectives have been consistent since the ministry was first established:
- To present the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Christian faith in a way that is relevant in today's culture.
- To build a Christ-centred and Bible based church based in the north-east of England able to serve the local community, our region, the United Kingdom and beyond.
- To encourage members of the church to:
- Commit to regular church attendance.
- Connect relationally in some aspect of Church life in a small group, and/or as part of a team.
- Serve in some capacity thereby adding value to other people, and contributing to the life, health, and expression of the Church.
- Accept responsibility for personal growth and spiritual development in their daily life, and to encourage others to do the same.
- Contribute financially to support of the vision and mission of the church according to Biblical stewardship principles.

## **Objectives and activities** _**(continued)**_
## Principle Activities
In the period under review, the usual activities carried out by the church were fully in place. Corporate gatherings of the church were held at a single location in Newton Aycliffe from where services were streamed live online, and small groups were held in homes and cafes in the surrounding areas.
The online presence was well established and remains a means of fulfilling the charity's objectives to advance the Christian faith and present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a much wider audience. Reports continue to come in from people around the country joining the live broadcasts and others being impacted by watching the church services online from around the United Kingdom and beyond.
In-person Sunday services attracts new people, most have come across the church because of its online presence. The strategy is to encourage these 'new people' as well as existing members to be a part of a small group which include a range of age or gender appropriate groups or Connect Group, or to volunteer as part of a Team 'serving' on Sundays.
These 'small groups' serve as the means of building community and providing a level of pastoral care for members. During this period under review there were 14-15 such groups in place.
Kids Church takes place on Sundays during service times. Led by a dedicated team of leaders and helpers committed to teaching children about Jesus on their level.
Youth takes place weekly and during alternating Sundays at a separate location. The period under review began with a small, dedicated team of volunteers committed to seeing the young people have fun, form friendships, understand their identity as followers of Jesus and learn to apply Biblical values in their lives. This period saw the original leaders moved on to serve in a full-time capacity at a church in another part of the country. New leaders were selected and there has been resulting growth in the number of volunteers serving the youth which we believe will lead to a growth in young people being helped in their faith. All volunteers are appropriately vetted and the necessary safeguarding checks are carried out.
Young Adults meet regularly for community, worship and more in depth Bible study.
Sisters meet weekly in Connect Groups and quarterly on Saturday mornings for community, worship and Bible study. This frequently attracts new people who come to faith and others who find a place where they can grow in their Christian faith.
Men's gatherings were usually social and involved gatherings in cafes, meals, and bowling nights.
Reach is the care ministry of the church and provides practical aspects of pastoral care for people within the church and also reaching into the local community. Help was provided with transport for hospital appointments, visitation at home or in hospital. Groceries was provided for those who for reasons beyond their control were experiencing hardship, meals for those who would benefit from the support due to being unwell or temporarily unable; there was value on both sides of this as people were not only being helped and supported, but the volunteers found it very rewarding to be able to help and do good for those in need. Additionally, there are gifts on Mothering Sundays and Father's Days and hampers given to clients of a day care centre, and elderly friends and members of the church.
Heart & Soul Nights are evenings to celebrate our achievements and to acknowledge individual efforts and expressions of our values.
Team Nights are evenings that are used to communicate the vision and culture in the hope that the understanding and application of this creates a pathway for individuals to grow personally.

## **Achievements and performance**
Services were held in the Bethany Centre in Woodham, Newton Aycliffe. New people were added to the church resulting in growth in all areas of the church.
New people continued to 'discover' the church online, some, from other parts of the country consider themselves as part of the church online. The online service therefore continues to enable the charity to share the Christian faith to a national audience, and a global audience with reports coming from Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. Locally, people still discover the church online and decide to make it their church committing to regular attendance, joining a small group, committed to serving on a team, and contributing financially to support the vision and mission of the church.
REACH has been effective as the care and outreach ministry of New Generation Church, providing pastoral care and practical support for people within the church, and reaching into the local community. The intention remains to develop strategic partnerships with national and international organisations to: preach the good news of Jesus Christ; support the persecuted church; and provide humanitarian aid (including organisations who help to provide clean drinking water to third world communities).
## **Financial review**
The charity's income was through tithes and offerings, and gift aid receipts from church attendees and supporters of the ministry. Total income was £175,674 during the year, and total expenditure was £118,860 leaving a surplus of £56,814.
The charity does not hold fundraising events.
The main areas of expenditure were church running costs, ministry fees, rental costs for venues, expensed equipment purchases, and donations to individuals and organisations whose objectives are the same as the charity's.
We are pleased with the results for the year ended 30th April 2023 and the charity is in a healthy financial position.
## Reserves
The charity ended the year with reserves of £298,177. It is the intention of the Trustees to build the level of reserves to cover a minimum of six months of activities and provide for future projects designated by the Church Leadership and Trustees including the purchase of buildings and lands.

## **Plans for future periods**
Our mission and the objectives that underpin our plans for the future remain constant, that is to take the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Christian faith and communicate them in a way that is relevant to the days in which we live.
The objectives for the future are to build on our strengths, strengthen our weaknesses, grow from our experiences, and to see increase in the numbers of people entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ. We seek to double our attendance and see an increase in the numbers of people actively involved in Church life-either by joining a team and/or be part of a small group.
We will continue to host Heart & Soul Nights to celebrate our achievements and acknowledge individual efforts and expressions of our values. Team Nights will be used to communicate vision and culture with the understanding that this creates a pathway for individuals to grow personally. We have learned that working in a healthy environment with others fosters unity, increases individual capacity, and develops leadership potential. Coupled with the personal development of Bible based attitudes, beliefs and skills, we believe this will enable each individual to fulfil their God-given potential and to lead in every sphere of life.
We aim to create an environment for people in our Church to grow in their faith, to become mature as Christians, with a clear understanding of the Bible and how it applies to everyday life, in the hope that they will encourage others to do the same.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Aaron Chaudhary Ministries**
## **Year ended 30 April 2023**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Aaron Chaudhary Ministries ('the charity') for the year ended 30 April 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 30 April 2023**
**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
**12**
**Aaron Chaudhary Ministries**
**Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 30 April 2023**
**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Tangible assets** _**(continued)**_
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
|Fixtures and fittings|-|20% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Equipment|-|33% straight line|
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 30 April 2023**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
